What is an SHR file?

SHR files mostly belong to Hanes T-ShirtMaker by Hanes. SHR files are self-extracting archive files that are created through the Unix Shar Utility program, and primarily utilized on Unix systems which have the Bourne Shell installed (command-line interpreter for computer operating systems).

Main Usage: SHR files contain shell scripts that hold the instructions on how the file is supposed to extract its contents when opened by the user. These SHR shell scripts give the user the correct information about decompressing the files within the archive, as well as additionally containing the instructions on how the file is supposed to complete the embedding process which takes place within the archive. SHR files are primarily built to decompress themselves within the Unix operating system without installing any additional software, however, they are also able to decompress themselves on Mac OS machines without any external software. The proper software needed to open SHR files is only supported on Windows.
Alternatives: SHR files are also associated with the PDP-10 mainframe computer family, where they are instead known as Shareable Hiseg files, although, there is very limited documentation regarding this file format.

How to open SHR files

You need a suitable software like Hanes T-ShirtMaker to open an SHR file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SHR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SHR file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. SHR files are often referred to as Hanes T-ShirtMaker raster images because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
shar
shar is a Unix utility that creates a self-extracting archive. The archive is in the shar (shell archive) format and has the SHR file extension. It is saved as a shell script that is executed to recreate the files contained in it. The standard Bourne shell can unpack these archives by running the shell script. shar files may also have the SH or SHAR extension. This file format is classified as Executable.

TOPS-10 (shareable program) by Digital Equipment Corporation
TOPS-10 was the operating system created by Digital Eqipment Corporation (DEC) for their PDP-10 (also called DECsystem-10) family of mainframe comuters. The SHR file extension is associated with a sharable (or reentrant) FORTRAN program running on TOPS-10. A reentrant program allows multiple users to share the same copy of the program simultaneously. This file format is classified as Executable.

ZipZag (self-extracting archive) by Cristescu Gabriel Valentin
ZipZag is a file archiving program for Windows developed by Cristescu Gabriel Valentin. It can unpack several formats, including SHR archives. SHR archives are created using the shar utility in Unix. The archive is saved as a shell script that is executed to recreate the files contained in it. They may also have the SH or SHAR extension. This file format is classified as Executable.
